When To Use a Star

Quickly Execute a Hyper Strike

Because the Star makes you completely invincible for a short amount of time and at the same time also gives you a slight boost to speed, you can use it to quickly get to the other side of the field while ignoring advancing enemies.

This is especially useful while under the time pressure of a Hyper Strike Orb. If you are running out of time to use your Hyper Strike, you can use this item to bypass all enemies and make your shot.

Using a Hyper Strike while a Star is active also increases its effectiveness, but the effects immdiately end after the making the shot.

How to Do a Hyper Strike

Also Useful at the End of the Match

In addition to Hyper Strikes, the speed and invincibility bonus is also great when you are about to run out of time in the match. If you are only a point behind and there are only seconds left in the clock, you can use a Star to score and go to Golden Goal.

Protect Yourself from Opponents

If you see your opponents closing in on you especially if you are currently holding the ball, you can quickly use the Star to not only become immune from their attacks, but also take them down in the process.

Score a Quick Goal at the Start of the Play

The Star is also great to score a quick goal immediately at the start of the play. However, the invincibility effect will not work on Boom Boom, so you'll still need to have a strategy to quickly get past the goalie before the Star's effect runs out.

How to Get a Star

Touch a ? Block

Like all items in Mario Strikers: Battle League, you will need to touch a ? Block to get one and add it to one of your item slots. The item you get from a ? Block is always random, and you are only allowed to get items from rainbow blocks or blocks with your team's color.

Repeatedly Get Tackled While not Holding the Ball

If your character is repeatedly tackled while they are not holding the ball, the crowd may throw them a star. However, the same is true for your opponent if you repeatedly tackle them while they are not holding the ball.
